ON THEIR oNN HOOK.

study Of the self-supportlng women Of
New York City.
In New York there are every year
more and more women living ION their
own hook" How do they live, how do
they like it themselves. these women
on their own hook. who, of course, are
generally living out Of family homes,
and are often irolated among strangers
in this big cityp Like most compre-
hensive questions that can not be an
swered in word. All over the town,
sandwiched in among other boarding
and lodging house denizens, is the self
supporting or the stud ent woman; but
it is not under such circumstances that
the best study Of her can be made;
flocking by herself in this Dundreary-
ish fashion, she is neither so happy nor
30 characteristic as when the flocks in
more normal fashion with others Of
feather There are houses that she
takes possession of through spontane-
Gus volition, as it were. and there are
houses that are specially dedicated to
her service. There are many classes
Of her, and she is something like the
same person of song and story,
who when she was good was very
good indeed, and when she was bad she
was horrid; when our woman on her
own hook is jolly and enjoyable, she is
most delightful creature. and when
she is doleful she is the most doleful
creature in pesslmistic world. Among
the poorly paid workers. such as seams
tresses and saleswomen, lie as ! have
seen it is very gray indeed, and when
they get old it is hopelessly drab.
This is by no means altogether the
result of poverty. I've known little
artists Of one kind and another poorer.
though not much. for the best of rea-
sons, but when common types Of hui
mainly are taken ont of that school Of
the affections. the family. and put at
grinding labor that furnishes little or
no food for the mental activity. the
result is deadening and dulling that
is not cheerful to contemplate. just
what should be done about it Is easier
to ask than to answer; though excep-
tons may be numerous these are not
the class of minds that can be easily
amused by the elevated forms Of enter
tainment that philanthropists usually
favor.
The most interesting classes Of indie
pendent women are the students and
those who are working in the field
where they have formerly been
students.
There are now about two thousand
out-of-town art students in New York
In the winter. and the most Of these
are women They, too, are generally
poor. but they are apt to have souls
above luxury. To care pre-eminently
about some pursuit and to be able to
follow it that is evidently the great
necessity to happy existence. have
not noticed that talent so inevitably
goes with this decided prediction a.
most people think, btt II one loves an
occupation enough 1t is not necessary
to be successful in 1t to be happy-the
pursuit Is itself happiness. Nowhere
Is this oftener the case than among the
painters except among those that
ara learning to Be painters. J.
Gspphic.

There ara many signs Of renewed 90
tivity in the Republican party. There
has been, 80 to speak. . vitalizing cur
rent directed toward it, old leaders,
and we have . great stirring among
dead bones
First to reappear was Hon. William
e. Chandler, representative Repub-
lican from New Hampshire Mr.. Cham

tions and q manipulation without con-
science When he enters . political
contest he viii win At any cost, law or

maxim ID: II care not who does the

Mr.. Chandeliers methods were so con-
trary to law and morals that thero
came within his own party . revolt
against him, and he was compelled to
seek the seclusion which private lie
affords. For awhile we heard no more
of the distinguished successor Of Robe
son, but after short rest convinced
that the moral spasm had spent it,
force. and especially confident that the
Republican party needed and was
ready to accept the services Of such
adopts. he announced himielf candi-
date for the Senate and was elected.
The second gentleman whose repu-
tation consigned him to privacy for q
brief space was Mr.. NJ. s. Quay. long
distinguished as political leader Of
peculiar kind in Pennsylvania Mr..
Quay has been exceedingly services
BILE, after manner. in many political
campaigns in Pennsylvania, and, con-
scious that the party is abou: to enter
q very doubtful National campaign,
Mr.. Quay has been sent to Washing
ton by the Pennsylvania Legislature,
and what MIR. Chandler does not know
of the dark ways and devious paths Of
politics Mr.. Quay win teach him.
Hearing of silent revolution which
has resulted In once more bringing
Mr.. Chandler and Mr.. Quay to the
'front.' Boss Shepherd, who has been
making mythical fortunes in the dim
and distant West. returns to Washing
ton. the scene Of his former triumphs.
His reception has been all he could OK

of all the rules of commercial morality.
The press and his personal partisans
point to Washington - his creation,
kindly drawing . vail over the finan-
cial history of the period, and saying
nothing Of the bills Congress had to
pay. Shepherd proceeded on the
Tweed idea, that II he let the people
see something for the money he was
spending. the disproportion between
taxes and results would not attract at
tention. So he proceeded to dazzle
the people Of Washington. the press
and Congress- He evidently believes
the country is anxious to be dazzled
again, and so he returns ready for the
work.
